InvFrame
by Ste1nerX
With InvFrame, a player can hide an item frame by sneaking and right-clicking it while holding shears.
What it does
InvFrame lets a player make an item frame invisible in one combined action: hold Shift, right-click the frame with shears in hand, and the frame disappears while its contents stay in place. The effect is a single-input toggle, so no menu or command is needed to use it.
The mod is a minimalist Fabric addition built to touch only the interactions it needs. It processes user interactions and nothing else, preserves the contents of each frame, and loads with little overhead. Because it works on both the client and the server, a server can run it on its own, and a client can run it alone.
InvFrame is published for Fabric only, with builds for 1.21.10 and 1.21.11. The latest file is 2.0.0 for 1.21.11, released on 2025-12-14. The code is released under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source. Installing it on either the client or the server is enough to use the toggle, and neither side is required to run it.
Key features
Hide frames with a combo
Holding Shift and right-clicking an item frame with shears makes the frame invisible in one action.
Frame contents preserved
An item frame keeps the item it holds while it is hidden, so nothing is lost when it is toggled.
Interaction-only processing
The mod reacts only to player interactions with item frames and does not run logic on other game events.
Minimal load
The mod is a small addition that keeps its footprint low on both the server and the client.
